Is IMEI registration required for my phone when using an EastESIM in Colombia?

Updated April 22, 2026

For travelers on short trips to Colombia, using an EastESIM means you generally won't need to worry about IMEI registration. While Colombia has regulations requiring local SIM card users to register their device's IMEI to combat phone theft, EastESIM operates on an international roaming basis. This means your device is recognized as a 'roaming tourist' device, allowing you to bypass these specific local registration requirements. You can enjoy seamless data connectivity without the hassle of registering your phone, making your arrival and stay in Colombia much simpler.
